I don't have time to address the qualifications paper right now.
However, about people tending to follow rules and accept status quo, I don't think it's so much conditioning as hard wired temperament. I made this point several weeks ago in a private comment to Emilio, but I'll say it openly here because we have a very large potential problem coming.
The demographic we are seeing on this forum is not representative of the population at large. The people here doing most of the talking and taking action on their own behalf are mostly from the ~20% of the population known as "Intuitives," either Idealists like Greg Jefferys or Rationals like Dr. Freeman. We tend to think for ourselves and outside the box, and are far more willing to challenge authority than are the ~80% of the population known as "Sensors."
Sensors tend to need rules and an authority chain to guide their decisions, or simply let someone else decide for them. While Intuitives tend to derive their sense of right and wrong from some philosophical position, Sensors tend to see it based on custom and tradition and the orders sent down the authority chain. It's not that they can't understand, it's that they're not inclined to try.
To make matters worse, most of the people in bureaucratic positions tend to be Feeler Guardians, the most authority chain driven of them all. They are actually threatened by anyone who would dare to think outside the box or challenge their holy authority chain.
To get the Sensors to take action for themselves will be difficult and we'll need to be able to show some serious credibility ... we'll need to appear as the voice of authority. And after that they'll likely be needing their hands held the whole way.
I'm not bringing this up to be condescending to them, I'm bringing this up because I'm very concerned about what will happen when we start succeeding in reaching the larger numbers out there and they simply can't figure the whole process out by reading this forum. There are not enough of us here to hold all their hands.
We've got to get their decision trees worked out such that they can easily follow them and we have to do it before the big numbers start hitting.
